Pros

Decent benefits. Great co-workers. Lots of overtime (if you see that as a plus). Most callers are nice and don't scream at you. If you last long enough, there are profit benefits.

Cons

Call center is run on making the employees afraid of getting fired. They don't tell you, but you are "on call" ALL the time. If there is a disaster anywhere in the US, expect to be working overtime. Micromanagement. Management says they do not want "drama" but they create LOTS of it. Highly conservative atmosphere (super christians). Expected to meet stringent goal with talk-time, calls refused, and service level. Expected to know way too much for the amount they pay you. Once you are hired into the call center, there is NO escape other than quitting. They say there is advancement opportunity, but the head manager has to approve it and rarely does. If management doesn't like you, they will find a way to get rid of you. I was warned about this by my co-workers.

Pros

Immediate leadership was great, and starting pay was competitive. There are people who genuinely want to see the company succeed. The owners were personable and made a point to interact with all of the staff.

Cons

Dishonest. When hired I was promised commissions on profitable jobs. My whole time there I, my boss, and the only other project manager never saw a bonus, even though the department saw very significant increases in profit margins since I was hired, due in large part to the changes made to the process between my boss and myself. I was moved out to the region for this job and missed some time due to complications with the move, as well as some health struggles. I was given understanding and advised to keep and eye on it. When given news that our department was essentially dissolving and I would be taking on the work of half the team, I left early to discuss with my wife. On returning I was immediately terminated without any warning whatsoever and nothing lined up in a state I haven’t had time to make connections. Infighting among the staff is also an ongoing issue.
